Yeah I have been thinking about it but I don't really know why a god would intervene. There isn't a clear motivation
Yeah it could be fun. The lich is ultimately just sitting and waiting for them cause he is looking to enter a higher plane through some funky magic but is tethered to the material plane because of their soul. He is literally using the party. This may throw a wrench in his plans a bit
Well in Pathfinder there is a pretty clear delineation between psychopomps and the Grim Reaper so I think we are good there. The SoA actually makes it impossible to revive you so I imagine the soul does not take a normal path into the afterlife and instead gets sucked up by the sphere as well
Hmm yeah you have a point
Well the Grim Reaper is a death, but not THE death
Yeah I was thinking that the half that got sucked in are fighting the Grim Reaper on the edge of Limbo while the half that remained are desperately trying to find a way to bring them back
The Sphere of Annihilation (of the party)
Hello all,
I have been running a level 20 epic campaign where the party is trying to defeat a lich who has ruled over a land full of monsters for hundreds of years blah blah blah etc etc. Anyways to make things fun as they have been hunting for the lich's phylactery I also chose to send the Grim Reaper after them since we are using Pathfinder 2e and he has a stat block in that game.
So they eventually discovered a Sphere of Annihilation that I put in the game cause it seemed like fun and the players got an idea. They got a wonderful, terrible idea.
The Grim Reaper followed them to this sphere, then they ambushed him and managed to shift the Sphere over to him and annihilated him utterly. Unfortunately they also destroyed themselves in the process. It is a party of seven and four of them were fully annihilated, two are out of range and have survived, and one has attempted to use dimensional anchor on themselves and is hoping that in my benevolence I will allow him to survive. He
